10 Little-Known Signs of Lung Cancer (Would You Guess a Change in Mood?)

This doesn't surprise me. My father was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer that had spread to his liver and bones in 1983--one month later he was dead. For a number of years before this, he had become moody and rude, even calling my mother names (which he had NEVER done before). We had no idea what was going on, until that December when he was diagnosed. He had smoked like a chimney all his life, but rarely even got a cold. Previously, he had gone to his doctor complaining of bloody phlegm, and was told it was a calcium deposit in his lung and not to worry about it. When he died, it was just a week after his 59th birthday--he didn't get to see his first grandchild, or any of his grandchildren, I didn't have him to walk me down the aisle when I got married, and his verbal abuse of my mom (due to the cancer, I'm sure) created lots of tension in the family, and hurt her badly. Doctors need to pay attention to this study; especially with men, ESPECIALLY with older men, who are much less likely to tell their doctors that they are experiencing emotional problems. Thanks so much, Caring.com, for bringing this very important study to the public's attention.

Early lung cancer may cause no symptoms patient's history, be sure to assess his exposure to carcinogens. If he's a smoker, determine pack years. http://www.mylungcancerguide.com/
